Hollers and Blues |

"Gimme a few risings, settings of that lonesome sun I'll be back, baby, don't you break and run."
"Baby, baby, would you cry about a lonesome dime, You got a home as long as I got mine."
What makes your rooster crow about the dawn of day? To let the kid man know the workingman's on his way.
The stars is fallin', it ain't long time till day, That's to notify Teddie that the Big Bear's on his way.
I'm goin' where the water tastes like sherry wine, Cause the water roun' here taste like turpentine.
Ain't it hard to stumble when you ain't got no place to fall? In this wide world I ain't got no place at all.
Levee Camp Blues
Oh, the long line skinner gets a dollar a day, But the short line skinner gets hell to pay.
Captain, captain, don't you think it's mighty hard Work me all day on 'lasses and lard?
Oh, the nigger lick 'lasses, white folks lick 'em, too, I wonder what in the world a po' Mexican's gonna do.
You know, captain, I ain't to blame^
You can't get the harness on Stavin' Chain.
He shake his head and he jump so high, I'm 'fraid he might kick me an' I might die. |
